The Laydown Podcast: For Songwriters, Performers and Producers

Laydown and Die (or Metaphorical Nipple Twist)

Some times all you need is a metaphorical nipple twist to get you through to the end. At other times, though, it might be better to just lay down and let your project die. Maybe it resurrects, maybe it doesn't. When to push through and when to let it die can be a very challenging question to answer, and this is our attempt to at least look at it from a couple angles.

Beats of Our Ancestors (feat. Denisova)

From ancient alternative history to genuine Instagram engagement. We called notorious beatmaker Denisova out of his cave in Siberia for a conversation about this and much much more. Of course, convos about beatmaking took center stage in this pod. Enjoy the beats of our ancestors!

Impostor Syndrome & Musical Elitism

The worst dad joke so far on this entire pod happens in this episode (see if you can spot it) as we discuss impostor syndrome and how we as humans often try to put up barriers to divide the good enough and the not-goods. And how sometimes we throw ourselves in the not-good bunch when we experience impostor syndrome.

Recording Ramblings

Rambling has two definitions. "Lengthy, confused or inconsequential speech," or "a pleasurable stroll through the countryside." Which one do you think we mean?  Join us for a pleasurable stroll down recording lane, where we discuss everything from the ethereal quality of sound, to practical tips for how to patch together your first songs. Most important of all though — get a pop filter.

Throw It Up out There (feat. Linus the Legend)

Moving to the capital city to pursue music, gathering a band (on Tinder), getting gigs and writing songs — it's the hero's journey of Linus (the Legend) Waidringer. Join us as Linus sits down with us to tell his story until the whole conversation ends in a crescendo of puke. Sorry about that. Hope you're a blood fan.
